our culture & benefits

How do we power the possibility of our team?

At The Future Project we believe that learning is a lifestyle. We foster a culture of on-going learning as part of our commitment to our team. According to Gallup survey data, we’re in the 99th percentile of all organizations that care about their team's development and opportunities to grow. We invest in specific learning opportunities like an annual learning stipend, employee-led courses, speaker series, cultural activities for you and loved ones, opportunities to share your passion projects and much more.

Everyone works differently, so find your most productive space: whether remote flex, at a desk, or in our cafe overlooking Union Square. Our library offers a reflective space to recharge through meditation, yoga, or reading, and our kitchen is stocked with healthy snacks, plus some really great espresso. For a longer reset, we offer unlimited PTO plus 2 weeks of annual all-staff paid vacation when the office is closed. We are proud to offer multiple options for parental leave with the most robust plan offering over 16 weeks of fully paid leave for new parents.

We are committed to the overall well-being of our team.We provide health insurance, dental, and vision plans, plus long term disability, life insurance and a retirement plan. We also offer FSA, Transit Savings Accounts and Dependent Care Accounts.

Follow our adventures!

"Working at The Future Project has changed my life in more ways than one. Professionally — I have grown tremendously. I have been challenged to step outside of my comfort zone and I've learned how to become an effective and productive team member. Personally -- I have finally unlocked my genius level talent thanks to all of the resources and support that I have received from the TFP team nationwide."

"I was a tenured professor and college administrator before I came to TFP. TFP has given me the opportunity to bring my love of research and learning to a filling need I often saw as a professor but wasn't in a position to do anything about: young people so often entering adulthood with no idea how to truly thrive."

"I've grown more over the last year than the rest of my life combined. The skills and understanding I'm developing, both in terms of working with young people as well as living the change I want to see in the world, are the result of working with a community of people from all spaces and histories who care deeply about the world and one another."

"Since joining The Future Project, my understanding of my ability to create the world I want to see is clearer than I’ve ever imagined. My experiences here range from working with young people directly in schools to collaborating with innovative leaders working in service of youth at our headquarters. I continue to find key insights– “major keys” – for the way I show up in the world personally and professionally."
